Mysterious naked woman on the Shanghai Line 1 subway

We're not sure what's going on here, but according to a tipster and these (very NSFW) photos, a woman stripped down to the nude on a Line 1 subway train last night after getting into a heated argument with a man. She then grabbed onto his leg and was dragged a couple of steps before the man escaped her grip and ran off. Afterwards, she walked around the subway car naked until a middle-aged lady gave her a coat. Police came at the next stop and took her away. The police said they had seen her do this before, the blog post alleged. So... Porn-y bad-taste promotional stunt or the unfortunate capturing of someone who's seriously disturbed? Update: Were the images taken down?

Yet more news on China's HIV/AIDS situation, and this time from a most unlikely source. Did you know, dear readers, that Naked News, the "program with nothing to hide" that has its news anchors strip as they read the news, has male strippers newsreaders too? Apparently this program is targetted mainly towards the gay market (which makes us wonder if the program will ever have a market among women)? We were surprised to learn that...

The Red Laowai (红老外) — yes, that shirtless dude in New York that's been singing communist propaganda songs such as “My China Heart"《我的中国心》, "Without the Communist Party, there is no New China"《没有共产党就没有新中国》and "Oriental Red"《东方红》and putting his videos online — has done it again. This time, he has put his shirt on, created a music video and he's singing Jay Chou and rapping. The song 止战之殇 (The Wound That Ends War) is an anti-war song in...

New Burger on the Block: Thanks to the always up-to-date Christine Lu from the China Business Network, we learned that Los Angeles based burger joint Fatburger is planning on expanding big into China, starting with their first restaurant at the Venetian in Macao. From their press release: Additional Fatburger restaurants are scheduled to open in Hong Kong in the coming months: the first on Queens Road East and the second at Jia Hotel in Causeway...

CARMEN RESTAURANT: Carmen Restaurant recently materialised on Xikang Lu, near the even newer Steak and Eggs. Passing by, what caught our eye was their blackboard promotion for all you can drink: 50RMB for chicks and 80RMB for blokes. Went inside and discovered the deal was just for draught beer (Carlsberg) and cocktails. OK, could be acceptable, but decided we'd better try their cocktails first before committing to an all-out drink fest. Winopete chose a G&T that was actually quite decent. A friend opted for vodka and tonic which was also quite satisfactory. What was not so good was being hurried into deciding did we want the all-u-can-drink deal or single drinks, and also being asked to pay before a sip of alcohol had passed our lips. Furthermore, this night a bunch of rowdy German card players to descended around us which led to the staff cranking up the music to a very conversation-unfriendly level. The timing of both these events led to us upping and leaving. The mouldy-looking furniture for a brand new venue is never going to earn brownie points with me, but a decent all-you-can-drink deal grabs our attention, especially given the dwindling reputation of Bon Bon. The bottom line is we'll try Carmen again.

The mercury may be falling but there's still lots of sizzle left in the grill. It's time for another great big cook-off, and The Naked Cow is hosting the Shanghai Rib Cook-off in two weeks! And it's all for a good cause! 10% of all proceeds from the day will go to Shanghai Bo Ai Children's Rehabilitation Center which aids local children with cerebral palsy.

With heads still rolling from this year's tainted exports scandal and the downfall of Shanghai's ex-party-leader Chen Liangyu (he of bribe-taking and sexual-favoring-seeking fame) reaching completion, China's public enemy du jour appears to be corrupt government officials.

We're not sure Bai Ling's latest lady parts on display counts as news, given the fact that her private parts are more well-publicized than she is. But, combine the Bai-sexual actress' escapades with Zhang Ziyi's body double's web-search for love; add the biggest dick in China; and throw in a PRC plug for "sexy famous models... touching each other," and we'll take the bait.

As much as you want of the above for 150 kuai.

A very inventive dad in our neighbouring city Suzhou has decided to strip his son naked, and parade him around on the streets as punishment. Apparently the 15 year old teenager sleeps around in the park in the day and picks trash at night. He has refused to go home with his parents when they came to pick him up and even threw away the new shoes his mom bought him. Chinese netizens have lambasted the father for shaming his own child this way because even in the past, only the worst of criminals would be paraded and shamed in public. Poor child. We hope help comes to him soon.

Hand it to Chongqing — at least the city's public toilets aren't boring. Last year, we told you about their streetside urinals that didn't leave enough to the imagination. Now come the outdoor sinks that are a dream come true for anyone who has ever fantasized about washing their hands while entering a woman from behind (you know who you are).

Here at Shanghaiist, we think the Letters from China blog has been busy carving their own blogging niche by reporting on yet another novelty condom available here in China. Not content with sharing the news that police warrant card and Lei Feng frangers were to be found in China, they have now identified the big bopper — Chairman Mao condoms:

Call us stupid (you wouldn't be the first person) but we were kind of confused upon reading this Shanghai Daily story:

We've written about Bubba's Texas-Style Bar-B-Que & Saloon, college football and chili before. And now, all three combine in some kind of crazy mixed up Sunday afternoon stew. We are pressed for time -- we are a judge in today's Shanghai Chili Cook-off -- so we will do what we know best: copy and paste:

Another week, another edition of Shanghaiist Reads. SH and Shanghai Talk are on the clock …

The online version of Radar magazine has published a selection of Sinclair's Pink Box pics (WARNING: They are not safe for work). Here's a snippet of the magazine's intro:

When we read that a certain hospital would be punished for putting up erotic literature on its website our curiosity was piqued: Were there other fans of Debbie Does Dalian out there? It turns out that the literature in question is erotic literature from the Qing dynasty, a novel by the name of Secret Lust of Spring Palace, which, this Chinese report tells us, is the racy 《春宫秘史》 (Chun Gong Mi Shi). There's no "lust" in the title, but we suppose that's whatever the opposite of being "lost in translation" is. The point of putting this up was to give couples having difficulties conceiving a little encouragement. The hospital treats all kinds of infertility problems, some of which are physical, and some of which are psychological:

At least they don't lag behind in anything important!

  • What's next? A Paramount Theme Park in Tianjin?
  • ICBC is going public.
  • The Ministry of Information has blacklisted 102 wireless services across China and we have no clue why.
  • When it's the anniversary of something important in China (other than your birthday), please do not in any way commemorate it, or buy anything that might be related to it. They're watching you!
  • The Swedish King and Queen sailed to China in a wooden ship -- were they on there for the entire 10 months it took to get to Guangzhou? They meet with another unelected leader on Wednesday in Beijing.
  • Australian PM John Howard is a realist, which means he doesn't believe in lecturing Beijing about politics.
  • Carrefour is trying to rid itself of corruption which affected how products were placed and stacked!
  • In case you haven't seen Pirates of the Carribean 2 yet, check out Chow Yun-fat's wicked mustache.
  • Just as Starbucks sued a Shanghai place for using its Chinese name (星巴克), now Nestle is suing a Zhejiang teahouse that calls itself Que Chao (雀巢), the Chinese name for Nestle. At least they sell Nestle stuff inside.
  • Some venture capital Chinese company claims it cracked Skype protocol and demonstrated this fact by calling someone's Skype using a non-Skype program. The implications are that Skype could be shut down in China. The Skype folks are dismissing the claim.
  • The controversy surrounding Shao Xiaoshan, Zhang Ziyi's naked body double in The Banquet continues: She talks about how her Chinese-American fiance called her a whore and broke up with her over this issue, as well as the numerous unsavory things that go on behind the scenes in the film biz. Cecilia Cheung says ZZY was unprofessional for using a body double, while Zhou Xun comes to ZZY's defense. On the whole, Shao thinks she's done a good job of generating publicity for herself.
  • Jaywalking caused 25 deaths in Shanghai this year, leading authorities to crackdown on jaywalking. Same article says that many of the drivers involved don't have experience either. Seems to us they ought to crack down on shitty driving, too.
  • Don't be the last person on your block to get a Super Voice Girl doll.
  • The British Open will be a warm-up for Tiger's return to Shanghai this fall.

    But the address is not what had us perplexed. It was all the naked mannequins in the window, and the rows of empty hangers neatly, um, hanging on the wall. At first we assumed it was an underwear shop still waiting for the underwear to arrive. Then weeks passed and then a month, and we guessed it might be a new boutique based on The Emperor's New Clothes -- you know, that just might work here.

    A couple stories that you may have seen on Shanghaiist recently have ended up in the mainstream media.

    Canadian born photographer Greg Girard has been shooting in Asia for quite a while and in Shanghai for the last six years. Some of the fruits of his labors were on display at the opening of his Studio Rouge show Downtown on Sunday. Much of Girard's work focuses on homes. Many of the pictures at the show were exteriors of run-down, slated-for-destruction buildings. Often shot at dusk or at night, the very studiously composed shots show an incredible amount of detail, things you see all the time but perhaps never notice.
